What problem does it solve? Analytical documents often bury their conclusions, mix overlapping arguments, or open with throat-clearing context. This Skill enforces Barbara Minto's Pyramid Principle so memos, recommendations, briefings, and decision documents lead with a clear governing thought supported by MECE groupings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three construction modes: Build a pyramid from scratch (greenfield), reverse-engineer one from an existing draft (restructure), or develop it through an interactive Socratic dialogue with pause, resume, and hand-off support. - Parallel audit panel: Four auditors check MECE grouping, So-What substance, Q-A alignment, and inductive/deductive logic, with CRITICAL verdicts triggering automatic reconstruction passes. - SCQA opener and render: Composes a Situation-Complication-Question-Answer opener against the stable apex, then renders a final pyramid.md with audit notes; MISMATCH verdicts degrade gracefully instead of fabricating complications. - Use Case: Paste a rambling project update draft and receive a restructured pyramid with an apex-first outline, evidence tiers, an SCQA opener, and a log of every cut made during extraction. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to structure your memo or draft with the pyramid skill, for example by saying "Use the pyramid skill to restructure my draft at ./project-update.md into a decision memo."
